## Description
|
||
|
<section id='description'>
|
||
|
Order is important in <code>if</code>, <code>else if</code> statements.
|
||
|
The function is executed from top to bottom so you will want to be careful of what statement comes first.
|
||
|
Take these two functions as an example.
|
||
|
Here's the first:
|
||
|
|
||
|
```js
|
||
|
function foo(x) {
|
||
|
if (x < 1) {
|
||
|
return "Less than one";
|
||
|
} else if (x < 2) {
|
||
|
return "Less than two";
|
||
|
} else {
|
||
|
return "Greater than or equal to two";
|
||
|
}
|
||
|
}
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
|
||
|
And the second just switches the order of the statements:
|
||
|
|
||
|
```js
|
||
|
function bar(x) {
|
||
|
if (x < 2) {
|
||
|
return "Less than two";
|
||
|
} else if (x < 1) {
|
||
|
return "Less than one";
|
||
|
} else {
|
||
|
return "Greater than or equal to two";
|
||
|
}
|
||
|
}
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
|
||
|
While these two functions look nearly identical if we pass a number to both we get different outputs.
|
||
|
|
||
|
```js
|
||
|
foo(0) // "Less than one"
|
||
|
bar(0) // "Less than two"
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
|

## Instructions
|
||
|
<section id='instructions'>
|
||
|
Change the order of logic in the function so that it will return the correct statements in all cases.

tests:

- text: <code>orderMyLogic(4)</code> should return "Less than 5"

testString: assert(orderMyLogic(4) === "Less than 5");
|

- text: <code>orderMyLogic(6)</code> should return "Less than 10"
|
||
|
testString: assert(orderMyLogic(6) === "Less than 10");
|
||
|
- text: <code>orderMyLogic(11)</code> should return "Greater than or equal to 10"
|
||
|
testString: assert(orderMyLogic(11) === "Greater than or equal to 10");
